Identity,
Migration, and Development: 'Village Life is Better than
Town Life’
In her research, Professor Cheney
considers how urban Ugandan children have come to imagine
their identities against the African rural-urban migration
history and contemporary development trajectories.
By situating her own ethnographic research historically
through the work of the Manchester School of social
research and its intellectual descendants, Cheyney
aims to contextualize current debates about urban-rural
migration to show how it figures in life strategies
for urban families and individual children.

Displaced Honduran
Children in the Path of Katrina
This paper explores the experiences of Honduran migrant children
in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Some
had migrated to this city after Hurricane Mitch devastated
their already poverty-stricken country in 1998, but many of
them were forced to relocate again after Katrina. Many others
have only recently arrived in New Orleans to join relatives
attracted by the construction boom that followed the disaster.

Closing the Gaps: The Need
to Improve Identification and Services to Child Victims of
Trafficking
Human trafficking
for sexual exploitation and forced labor is believed to be one
of the fastest growing areas of criminal activity.
The vast majority of victims of severe forms of trafficking are
women and children. The particular vulnerability of child victims,
related to biophysiological, social, behavioral, and cognitive
phases of the maturity process, distinguishes them from adult
victims
and underscores the necessity of special attention to their particular
needs.

Understanding
the Backlash: Transnational Migrant Families in the Philippines
Professor Parreñas explores why transnational migrant
families are negatively perceived in a society that economically
depends on their constitution. She shows that growing up in
transnational households is not just made difficult by the
physical distance that hampers intergenerational relations
but also by the lack of public support for such families.

Children, "Good Matches," and
Policies for Care
Professor
Zelizer explores caregiving relationships as another
form of economic consideration. She argues that
unpaid care work is discriminatory and increases economic
insecurity. Resistance to compensation underpins unjust
policies, while Zelizer's "Good Matches" combine
caring work with economic transactions.
